I voted Hillary because she was the flaming pile of dogshit we've already had rather than the larger, more volatile and exotic flaming pile that Trump is.

Things said by my (democrat) parents:

"the democrats are bad too"
"there's no such thing as a partisan judge"
"you can't just oppose everything the republicans do"
"they (the republicans) don't hate minorities"

Maybe if they just ran on a real leftist platform that would help poor people then both poor blacks and poor whites would vote for you.

Purity tests that aren't bigly pedantic are good actually as that's how you weed out the conservatives who say they're Democrats to get more votes/pretend they aren't Republicans.

Hope I'm never put in a situation where I'm forced to work 60 hours a week while raising a child by myself.

I guess being in that type of situation would be pretty negligent of me.

None of you think big enough. We used to do great loving things in this country, why can't we do them again?

Build some loving brand new cities in Montana and Utah, poo poo we got plenty of land. Give people WPA style job programs, rebuild infrastructure, go to Mars, gently caress, let's just try to do something!

Nah those take real effort and might end up causing social change that disrupts the establishment. Better to just slowly siphon off wealth and vitality from the human race until everyone dies in misery except for the ultra rich.

People got suckered in by Obama, then Hillary lost an election that should've been literally unloseable to any Democrat with a shred of not-neoliberal appeal. The dems don't seem to be learning. Jesus gently caress the crazies are going to get a majority big enough to ram through constitutional amendments.

It's a joke about how the dems knee-jerk reaction is to lurch right when threatened, using not being as lovely on LGBT rights as the crazies as a smokescreen so they can say they're actually really progressive and entitled to everybody's votes.

Pretty sure Sneakster is just trolling, but trans women are women full stop. If individuals want to be lovely to trans people, then yes they do have a right to be terrible people. But those terrible people views need to get right the gently caress out of the law.

Not to distract from this really good conversation, but I got a question about the Democrats. What would they do if Trump isn't president in 2018? If he resigns or dies or something, what then?If Democrats can't run under the message "Trump is bad" what would their message be?

"Vote for us because we don't have an R next to our names, therefore we deserve all your votes"

I'd be behind just about any candidate who actually talked about the things that are bad about the country in specific terms and promised to do specific things to fix those wrongs.

But nope gotta peddle that "hope" and "change" and other words you don't have to convert into actual policy. Wouldn't want to offend all those donors who are way more important than their constituency.

Also something something yucky poors something something.

Is Hillary really that transparently greedy and ambitious that she'd gently caress over the party's chances and also millions upon millions of people's safety and wellbeing just to get that sweet, sweet oval office she "deserves"?

Apparently so.

Does Just War Theory include a relentless terror campaign involving drones which may occasionally kill US citizens without due process?

If it let's them pump up the military-industrial complex (it does) then absolutely. Money is way more important than the occasional citizen or busload of children.

Lmao Hillary gave a eulogy for Edie Windsor, the woman who brought the case that overturned the defense of marriage act.

Just don't worry about how it was her husband who passed it in the first place, and how she gave a passionate speech arguing in its favor.

loving hell.
